DS2 wants a storm tropper blaster from santa. No problem, I thought, have seen them everywhere - HOWEVER, what I have been clocking are Clone trooper blasters - when he pointed this out to me, he made it clear in no uncertain terms, that it HAS to be a STORM trooper not CLONE.

My dilemma - sold out!

help!!!!

thank you - I should have added that ebay will be a last resort - have been watching a few online, and they are going for obscene amounts....

OMG, does that mean I am going to turn into one of those obsessive mums? MUST GET BLASTER, MUST GET BLASTER etc

I wonder if you can get in the US?

BTW - he is 2 and 3 months

DS1 aged 5 got one for his 5th birthday - ever since, that is all ds2 wants.....

So age inappropriate but having an older brother he idolises means that anything age appropriate is "Thats for babies"

aaarggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I would go for the Ebay ones. Bid what ever you can afford and hope. I think thats going to be the only way.

Could you fob him off with 'santa has asked mummy and daddy to get you one when you are little older???'

DesperateHousewifeToo · 08/12/2008 21:06

$195 on Amazon.com

DesperateHousewifeToo · 08/12/2008 21:09

have you googled any of the american sites?

My friend needed one of the new lego batman sets, they were all sold out or mega-bucks on ebay/amazon. She found one in america that worked out cheaper, (even when she had to pay about £20 shipping, it was still cheaper)

DesperateHousewifeToo · 08/12/2008 21:57

Everything is crossed for you.

Ooh, I love a good search
